TL 09U
Just formed, thought while I was on here I'd make a post.
Pretty much, all the information we have is BoM's forecast:

BoM Tropical cyclone forecast 08:36pm UTC 11/03/2023 wrote: Low risk of a tropical cyclone for the Timor Sea or Gulf of Carpentaria.

• The monsoon is strengthening over waters near the north Australian coast.

• A tropical low may form within the monsoon well to the northwest of the Kimberley Tuesday or Wednesday.

• If it does form, then 09U is likely to move southeast and cross either the north Kimberley or western Top End coast as a tropical low on Wednesday or Thursday.

• There is a Low likelihood that it does develop into a tropical cyclone prior to crossing the coast.

• During the coming weekend the low may move over Gulf of Carpentaria waters, where there is again a Low risk of developing into a tropical cyclone.

More info will come as I know it!

This looks like it'll be a good cyclone! This system should get the name Megan, if it beats 08U to cyclone status. Otherwise it will be Neville.

This system has been upgraded to a Category 1 cyclone (45kn sustained), and was named TC Megan.

Tides have been all over the shop.
Have a family member close to the sea NT,
I have a chuckle, “We’ll it is the wet season”
Complaints about the wind and the rain,
Roads turned to dams and when exiting via the beach and the tide is higher than anticipated..
